Paint Edges First

Painting

Three pro tips for applying paint…
* Paint edges first. On walls, use a paint brush to “cut in” paint around moldings, ceilings and other edges before you use your roller on rest of the wall. DIYers sometimes do this in the reverse order because they want to delay doing the tricky edge bits as long as possible-but doing the edges last often results in a visible “halo” effect around fixtures, windows, doors and other edges because the brushed area overlaps the rollered area, rather than get hidden underneath it.
